Strengthening international
ocean governance
to increase the collection, sharing and use of ocean observations for societal benefit
Ocean observation is a first, essential link in a value chain that runs from observations to data, models, services, actionable information and knowledge. This continuum is critical to understand and adapt to climate change, safeguard marine ecosystems, nurture a sustainable blue economy and bolster coastal resilience.
EU4OceanObs aims to catalyse essential partnerships between European and international infrastructures and programmes across the ocean observing value chain towards coordinated fit-for-purpose global ocean observations. It does this by primarily working with the G7 Future of the Seas and Ocean Initiative and GEO Blue Planet Initiative, and providing European to international engagement support for the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
